He's not just a flash in the pan

Thomas Ulsrud and his team will long be remembered for their play (as well as their flashy attire) at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics where they walked away with a silver medal, coming up just a bit short in the final game against Canada’s own Kevin Martin.

Thomas has been on the curling scene for many years. In 1997, he skipped in his first European Curling Championship, finishing in seventh place. He has gone on to win the European crown in each of the last two years. He’s competed in numerous world championships, winning bronze in 2006, 2008 and 2009, and he also has 6 World Curling Tour titles to his credit.

We are proud to welcome Thomas and his team as one of our Goldline ambassadors this season!

Fresh off an appearance at the Oslo Cup, the Norwegian skip spoke with Goldline’s Hallgeir Moen this past week.

If someone wrote a book about your life, what would they title it?
Secrets to my Olympic Gold

If you could be anyone dead or alive who would you be?
For better or worse, Tiger Woods

What would you do if you had a million dollars?
In Oslo, a million dollars only pays for a loaf of bread, but if I had a whole lot of cash, I’d use it to promote the sport of curling. The sport needs to be a bit more flashy to attract young people.
